Turmeric Detox Broth

Chief Taste Expert at graze, Ellie comments on this recipe: "This healing broth made with turmeric, ginger and spices is inspired by this detox soup (http://www.feastingathome.com/turmeric-broth-detox-soup/) from @FeastingAtHome - the turmeric gives it a rich golden yellow colour, as well as a nice aroma and anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting goodness. The pumpkin seed topping adds some crunchy protein and fibre."

Method

Sauté off the onion, ginger and garlic until soft and add the turmeric, stir to coat everything then add the cumin and coriander

Continue to heat for 1-2 minutes to release the aromas from the spices

Then add the stock, water, salt and pepper before bringing to a simmer

Add the butternut squash, celeriac and red split lentils

Simmer in the stock for 20 minutes until the lentils have swelled and the vegetables are soft

Add a couple of handfuls of fresh baby spinach and take off the heat

Once cooled, blitz with a hand blender, leaving a little bit of texture
